Despite having a new celebrity in their midsts, life at Moanalua High School was kept as normal as possible following Fujikawa's weekend performance in the Sony Open in Hawai'i.

After Fujikawa's impromptu press conference today, only two fellow teammates on the golf team were allowed to talk to reporters and there were no banners or celebrations.

But later today, Honolulu Mayor Mufi Hannemann is expected to come to Moanalua to present a proclamation to Fujikawa.

On Friday, Fujikawa drained an eagle putt on the 18th hole of the Sony Open in Hawai'i, sealing his place in history as the youngest player to make the cut on the PGA Tour in 50 years.

He walked the fairway to an exuberant standing ovation that day, beaming and waving to a frenzied gallery of spectators. He followed up his feat by shooting another round of 66 on Saturday to get his name near the top of the leaderboard.

He finished with a respectable 72 on Sunday to tie for 20th.

As he took time out for class today, a jovial Fujikawa told reporters that he dreams of one day competing in all of the major golf tournaments and said that young golfers like himself and Michelle Wie and other hopefuls are proving an inspiration for all young golfers in Hawai'i.

Fujikawa said he also hopes that short people — like himself at 5-foot-1 — will strive as well.

Wie, Fujikawa said, is a source of inspiration.

"If she can do it, then I can do it," he said.

Taking judo strengthened the focus of his golf game and made him stronger, Fujikawa said.

Although he has played team sports, Tadd said he prefers judo and golf "because it's all you."

"I like that," he said. "If you make a mistake there's no one to blame but yourself."

His Moanalua High School golf coach, Joshua Suapaia, said he wasn't surprised by Fujikawa's showing over the weekend.
